You don't get the right to publish the book as well.
...or are you saying that when you buy a DVD of Star Wars you become the owner of Lucasfilms' rights on the saga?!??

But you seem to be proposing that you SHOULD get the right to publish the book. What is creating additional copies of the book and giving those copies to anyone you choose but your own little publishing business?
